We can all reproduce with any ethnicity. All ethnicities looks alike (but for minor variances.) If you used a Star Trek transporter and turned us inside out we'd all look exactly alike. And blind people (or blindfolded people) would be hard-pressed to tell the difference of one ethnicity to another (assuming no regional accents were present.)
So is racism or bigotry based on ethnicity even sensible? If the only difference is skin pigment, then how different are we really? As that crazy white woman with a tanning fetish showed, white can become black if you lie in a tanning bed long enough. And of course as Michael Jackson showed, born black doesn't mean forever black Do people with racist or bigoted feelings lose those feelings if a person's skin color changes?
What if in the near-future, genetic engineering allows us to choose our babie's skin pigment regardless of its parents'? What if 'black babies' could be given caucasian skin pigment and features? Is bigotry and racism really about superficial visuals?
